When I go to open lightroom a message pops up and says "lightroom encountered an error when reading from it's preview cache and needs to quit" I have already restarted my computer, that didn't do anything. I then uninstalled and then reinstalled and still getting the same response.
Open the folder containing your Lightroom catalog. Locate a folder with the extension .lrdata and delete that folder. Do not delete anything else. Then restart Lightroom. It will start building a new previews folder.

I'm unable to open up Lightroom 5, I get this message in a pop up box: "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from it's preview cache and needs to quit" Underneath that is "Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time when it launches." It hasn't, what should I do? Thanks Shawn (Irish Se7en) .
Can you try to rename (not delete!) the folder named "YOUR_CATALOG_NAME Previews.lrdata" and restart Lightroom?

You need to delete your preview cache and have Lightroom rebuild it. Cache location can be found here.

After restarting my computer firefox is deleted for Windows, when i try to open firefox a message pops up saying the program has been moved from its original location and is unable to run How do I get Firefox on my computer permanently?
I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

When opening the program LR 5 encounters an error when reading from it's preview cache.
When opening the program LR 5 encounters an error when reading from it's preview cache. It says it will correct the problem when it re opens. Why does this happen and how do I correct it?
It means there is an issue with the preview cache.
If it persists after closing and re-opening Lightroom then you will need to delete the preview folder.
There is no permanent harm and Lightroom will regenerate the previews on an asneeded basis or the whole image collection if you ask it.
The previews folder exists in the Lightroom folder and has the name "Your catalog name PREVIEW.LRDATA".
Make sure it is the the correct folder before deleting it.

As soon as I open iTunes a message pops up to say a problem has stopped it from working and I have to close it. Any solutions?
Start with the third box in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

I have a new ipad. Having trouble making it work. when I try to open it, message pops up that says this ipad hasn't been backed up. backups happen when this ipad is plugged in (done), locked (think I did that) and connected to Wi-Fi. (How do I do that?)
thanks

"lightroom encountered an erorr when reading from it's preview cache and needs to close"
I can't get rid of this error message. I have moved/deleted the preview cache..did not help. I then deleted all the other files in the "Lightroom" folder...doesn't help. Please help!! thank you in advance
Thanks everyone. Just for future people who may read this... Turns out..LR had created another catalog on my C:/ drive that I didn't know about. (My main catalog is located on a separate drive.) So, when I was doing all of these steps to my main catalog, it didn't work. Problem was on the C:/ drive. I still wasted a ton of time talking to support and the person was not knowledgeable. He/She kept telling me that my catlog was corrupted even though the error message clearly stated it was the preview cache. All of these software companies need to a) bring their support desks back into this country, b) train the people to actually know the product inside and out. I've had to contact 3 different companies for support over the past few weeks and all of them gave me useless generic answers that you can find on their websites. Frustrating. Sorry for the rant and thanks again everyone.

I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode resulting in my need to restart the computer. I dislike all of my programs opening at once when I do get the computer started becasue it slows the cpu down. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there. Note: i never had this problem with snow leopard
I'm not certain but my new MBA 13...when in sleep mode comes back on from a black screen when I simply click on the left mouse button. Also, one time I did a SECURE EMPTY TRASH on files that totalled more than 1GB and it took so long that the fan kept increasing in speed so I pressed on the POWER button and the MBA shut...I was able to boot up with no problem. As a rule, I now only do secured erases for trash bin data totalling 500mb or less...anything above that gets a regular erase (dump).

please help me
Make sure your time and date are set properly for your city/timezone. In fact, you should have your location services set to automatic. Also it is important that you have all of the latest software updates for your operating system installed through Apple software updates.

Upgraded to 5.4 when opening lightroom get a message "encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and need to quite" tried this several time but get the same error message. Says Lightroom will attempt to fix the problem the next time it launches but that is not happening. How do it fix this?
Delete the preview cache using your operating system. It is a folder whose name ends with Previews.LRDATA. Do not delete the Lightroom catalog, which ends with .LRCAT

Every time I open lightroom I get a pop up message saying "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and it closes. Ive already tried reinstalling, nothing seems to work. Help please!
Open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find another folder with the extension .lrdata, and you need to delete that folder. After you do that, Lightroom should start normally and will create a new preview cache.
